The jersey, characterized by its sleek athletic look, caters to elite T20 cricket's demands for mobility and comfort while projecting a robust visual identity. It not only signifies Uttar Pradesh's representation but is a step forward in the broader appreciation of women's cricket in India. The jersey will be available to fans and will be first worn in the match against Gujarat Giants at the DY Patil Stadium on January 10.
